OpenAI launched ChatGPT Dots—always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra—on September 29, 2026, at DevDay, making them available immediately only to Pro ($100+ monthly), Business Premium, and Enterprise beta users in eligible markets. Official materials explicitly exclude the free, Go, and Plus tiers at launch while noting plans to “expand dots to more users soon,” without timelines or commitments to lower plans. This premium gating, combined with usage allowances that do not count toward core ChatGPT limits in the first month, has shaped trader views on whether free-plan access will arrive before any market resolution date. Competitive pressure from other agent offerings and OpenAI’s history of gradually broadening features could influence future rollout decisions, though no near-term catalysts such as earnings calls or product events have been announced.
